JUDICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
FACTS SOUARELY TOLD IN
SPEECH BEFORE MEDINA ASSN.
MEETING WEDNESDAY
When the American srmy in the
World War was demobilized the government was under two outstunlng ob
ligations to the men who had composed that army.
The first obligation v.us to care for,
make comfortable and, insofar as humanly possible, restore to health and
usefulness the wounded, sick and disabled.
The second obligation was and is to
rehabilitate those disabled' financially
by their service In the army.
After almost three years of effort by
the service men themselves, assisted
during the past ten months by an
aroused public sentiment, a none-too-
willing .government has ut lust been
goaded Into action and those physically disable.1 in the great conflict are
now iu the way of being taken care ot
aud provided for in a manner befitting the nation they served and the
sacrifices they made.
The next duty owed by the government, to service men, is to rehabilitate as fur as possible those financially
disabled by and on account of their
army service.
This brings us to the question o>
"adjusted compensation," sometimes
mistakenly and erroneously called "bonus."
According to Webster's new International dictionary, "Compensation" is
that which constitutes, or is regarded
as an equivalent or recompense; thai
which makes good the lack or variation of something else; that which
compensates for loss or privation.
A "bonus" is something given in
addition to what is ordinarily received
by or strictly due the recipient; a donation; a gratuity; specifically, a premium given for a loan, an extra dividend to the shareholders of a company out of accumulated profits.
What ihe service men are aakiug for
.■Iran beds and three good meals a day,
irSn receiving from $5.00 to $30.00
for a day of eight hours spent in rea-
sonab'y i omfortahle mills, shops, factories and Hhlpvurds; while the overseas service man was drawing $1 for
u twenty four-hour day, on duty practically all the time, and sleeping, if at
ull, in trenches, dugouts and shell
holes with only such rations as could
bi conveyed over shell-torn roads, lit-
tared with broken trucks, demolished
caissons, smashed wagons and the remains of men nnd animals.
The private soldier put In more
boats of hard labor, endured more
hardship;!, took more risk and drew
.CM:, pay than any oiher man in the
whole government establishment.
'The civilian who performPUstb6 most
ordinary unskilled labor, the muu*%ho
shoveled the dirt in the streets, the
man who worked in the ditch, the Janitor who (leaned the spittoons in the
government buildings at Washington
and elsewhere received more pay than
tho private Soulier who was Upholding
the honor of the nation and lighting
the battlS of clvllizution three thousand miles rrom home al a dollar a

Nor Is thut ull. Before the army returned, the government clerks and
civilian i mployes demanded and received a bonus of $240.00, and that
amount wus even paid to the civilian

When he returned the service man
was out of money, out of a job, out
of civilian clothes and out of touch
with civilian affairs.

wages und remuneration iu every line
of endeavor, but had also missed the
opportunities for advancement in his

HENRIETTA
rWtrWWWWWWWWWVSrWW
In the World War, as in all our wars,: thing but real money,
the army was made up almost wholly! '1'he plain American people long ago
of young men, the vast majority being were convinced the private soldier of
under twenty-five years of uge. They; World war did not get a square deal
went because the nation needed thorn. | (Continued on Back Page)
The matter of compensation did not
enter into the question to any extent;
in fact, they had nothing lo say ubout
it. The amount wus fixed by law. The
pay of the privates who mude up approximately 86% of the army was $30
per month, plus subsistence, clothing
and medical attention. For this pittance they left their homes, families
and employment; guve up their positions, surrendered opportunities for
advancement and financial gain; took
all the risks of' war, submitted to a
discipline never equalled in an American army; put forth physical exertion
to an extent utterly unknown to the
civilian at home, and finally made the
winning of tbe war possible.
But, notwithstanding the:..- conditions, neither adjusted compensation
nor bonus were ever heard of until a
large purt of the army had returned to
civil life. It wus not until the service
men found out what had been going
on al home while they were awuy, that
they realized how they had been buncoed in the matter ot pay.
When they returned they discovered
thai men, young und old, of uo more,
and in many cases less, ability than
those who served hud been enjoying a
period of prosperity uud riotous living
beyond anything the world had "ever
known.
Common labor wus getting from $5
to $7 per duy. In the shipyards some
workers were getting as high as $30
a day. In munition plants unskilled
workers were getting an average of
$10 a day. Carpenters ut cantonments
averaged $70 per week. The same high
figures prevailed iu civilian pursuits,
work that had little or no connection
with the war. We make no comment
as to whether these high wages were
Justified by conditions. It is to be
presumed they were, or the amounts
would not have beeu paid. But where
is the Justice in paying one man $1.00
per day for stopping bullets with his
body amid all the exertions and horrors of the battlefield and paying another man from $8.00 to $15.00 per day
for making bullets with bis hands and
working only eight hours a day in
safety and comfort at boma.

LaGrange another defeat at LaGrange
lust Saturday afternoon by running up
:i 27-0 score while their opponents
stood by and watched the local aerial
force In action.
LaGrange, with a team of excess
avoirdupois, wus outplayed from start
to finish, only at one time threatening
to score. They hud pepped up for the
game and were going to give Amherst
one of the worst beatings of the season. Their defeat ut Amherst a shiirt
iime ago filled them with u spirit of
revenge und ull manner ot pluying
was used to send Amherst home with
u defeat.
However, their hopes were shattered
in the first uarter, when T. Neumelster
made a pass to Abersold on the 50-
yurd line, and he, receiving the pass
and running the fifty yards for a touchdown. T. Neumelster kicked goul.
The second quarter found Amherst
again plunging the line and after muk
ing four first downs ou line plunges, L.
Neumelster put the bull over the goal
line with a few yards to spare. T.
Neumelster kicked goul, making the
score 14-0.
LaGrange kicked off at the beginning ot the second half and Amherst
was unable to make very much headway. LaGrange took the ball and
they, too, were stopped on all plays.
Exchange punts wus the feature of
this period, neither team scoring.

JUDICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
FACTS SOUARELY TOLD IN
SPEECH BEFORE MEDINA ASSN.
MEETING WEDNESDAY
When the American srmy in the
World War was demobilized the government was under two outstunlng ob
ligations to the men who had composed that army.
The first obligation v.us to care for,
make comfortable and, insofar as humanly possible, restore to health and
usefulness the wounded, sick and disabled.
The second obligation was and is to
rehabilitate those disabled' financially
by their service In the army.
After almost three years of effort by
the service men themselves, assisted
during the past ten months by an
aroused public sentiment, a none-too-
willing .government has ut lust been
goaded Into action and those physically disable.1 in the great conflict are
now iu the way of being taken care ot
aud provided for in a manner befitting the nation they served and the
sacrifices they made.
The next duty owed by the government, to service men, is to rehabilitate as fur as possible those financially
disabled by and on account of their
army service.
This brings us to the question o>
"adjusted compensation," sometimes
mistakenly and erroneously called "bonus."
According to Webster's new International dictionary, "Compensation" is
that which constitutes, or is regarded
as an equivalent or recompense; thai
which makes good the lack or variation of something else; that which
compensates for loss or privation.
A "bonus" is something given in
addition to what is ordinarily received
by or strictly due the recipient; a donation; a gratuity; specifically, a premium given for a loan, an extra dividend to the shareholders of a company out of accumulated profits.
What ihe service men are aakiug for
.■Iran beds and three good meals a day,
irSn receiving from $5.00 to $30.00
for a day of eight hours spent in rea-
sonab'y i omfortahle mills, shops, factories and Hhlpvurds; while the overseas service man was drawing $1 for
u twenty four-hour day, on duty practically all the time, and sleeping, if at
ull, in trenches, dugouts and shell
holes with only such rations as could
bi conveyed over shell-torn roads, lit-
tared with broken trucks, demolished
caissons, smashed wagons and the remains of men nnd animals.
The private soldier put In more
boats of hard labor, endured more
hardship;!, took more risk and drew
.CM:, pay than any oiher man in the
whole government establishment.
'The civilian who performPUstb6 most
ordinary unskilled labor, the muu*%ho
shoveled the dirt in the streets, the
man who worked in the ditch, the Janitor who (leaned the spittoons in the
government buildings at Washington
and elsewhere received more pay than
tho private Soulier who was Upholding
the honor of the nation and lighting
the battlS of clvllizution three thousand miles rrom home al a dollar a
day.
Nor Is thut ull. Before the army returned, the government clerks and
civilian i mployes demanded and received a bonus of $240.00, and that
amount wus even paid to the civilian
employes In Fram e holding down soft
jobs liiiinii ds of miles in rear of the
Hue while the private soldier going
through the hell of hells in the Ar
ne .in I on the plains of Belgium
got no bonus then and Is being given

When he returned the service man
was out of money, out of a job, out
of civilian clothes and out of touch
with civilian affairs.
He had not only missed the high
wages und remuneration iu every line
of endeavor, but had also missed the
opportunities for advancement in his
trade or occupation.' By reuson ot his

HIGH ELEVEN DEFEATS LAGRANGE
LOCAL8 HAD UPPER HAND ALL
THROUGH GAME—OPPONENTS
PLANNED REVENGE
The Amherst high gridders handed
LaGrange another defeat at LaGrange
lust Saturday afternoon by running up
:i 27-0 score while their opponents
stood by and watched the local aerial
force In action.
LaGrange, with a team of excess
avoirdupois, wus outplayed from start
to finish, only at one time threatening
to score. They hud pepped up for the
game and were going to give Amherst
one of the worst beatings of the season. Their defeat ut Amherst a shiirt
iime ago filled them with u spirit of
revenge und ull manner ot pluying
was used to send Amherst home with
u defeat.
However, their hopes were shattered
in the first uarter, when T. Neumelster
made a pass to Abersold on the 50-
yurd line, and he, receiving the pass
and running the fifty yards for a touchdown. T. Neumelster kicked goul.
The second quarter found Amherst
again plunging the line and after muk
ing four first downs ou line plunges, L.
Neumelster put the bull over the goal
line with a few yards to spare. T.
Neumelster kicked goul, making the
score 14-0.
LaGrange kicked off at the beginning ot the second half and Amherst
was unable to make very much headway. LaGrange took the ball and
they, too, were stopped on all plays.
Exchange punts wus the feature of
this period, neither team scoring.
Amherst went down the field iu the
lust quarter with severul pusses und
made a touchdown in the first two
minutes of thut period. A pass from
Monger to L. Neumelster scored the
third touchdown. T. Neumelster fulled
to kirk goal. Amherst was obliged
tfl kick to LaGrange at this period In
.he last quarter, giving LaGrunge the
hall. After falling to complete a pass
they tried u trick puss which wus intercepted by H. Wilford on the 60-
yard line, who ran tbe distance for
Amherst's fourth touchdown. N. Neumelster kicked goul, making the score
27 to 0.
With only u fraction of a minute to
play, LaGrange kicked off to Amherst.
Amherst ran the ball down to the center of the field and were about to
start a series of downs when the whistle blew.
